Training Rocket Scientists

Fiber Optics Technology & Applications

Summary:

This three-day course is de­signed for technical people with a wide variety of backgrounds who wish to enhance their understand­ing of Fiber-Optics or become famil­iar with the applications of FO. The various properties of Fibers of a wide variety of types will be discussed along with applications for which they can be used. Special emphasis will be put on using fibers for Laser Power Delivery, a subject not found in textbooks.

What you will learn:

What are the Emerging issues for the use of Fiber-Optic system in both military and commercial applications

Tools and Techniques for Meeting the Requirements of Data Rate, Availability, and transmitting high power beams without damage to the fiber or degradation of the light transmitted.

From this course you will obtain the knowledge and ability to perform basic FO systems engineering calculations, identify tradeoffs, interact meaningfully with colleagues, evaluate systems, and understand the literature.

Scheduling:

Tuition for this two-day course is $1990 at one of our scheduled public courses. Onsite pricing is available. Please call us at 410-956-8805 or send an email to ati@aticourses.com.

Instructors:

Dr. James Pierre Hauck

is a consultant to industry and government defense labs. He is an expert in fiber-optics systems having used them for a variety of systems in which CW or Pulsed laser power is delivered to targets.

Dr. Hauck’s work with lasers and optics began about 40 years ago when he studied Quantum Electronics at the University of CA Irvine. After completing the Ph.D. in Physics, he went to work for Rockwell’s Electronics Research Center, working Lasers and Applications, and later on Fiber-Optics, and Optical Comms Systems.

Jim Hauck’s work on Fiber-Optics began in the 1990’s when he developed systems for delivery of high power laser beams for materials processing. He continued that work with the use of FO for laser power delivery in optical dazzlers and imagers, and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Systems.
